Agira

Diodorus Siculus was born in Agira, which crowns Monte Teja above the Salso valley and Lake Pozzillo on the site of ancient Agyrion. Excavations by the castle have found Greek houses and a mint, and among its many churches the Santissimo Salvatore keeps a stone Aron, dated 1454, from the town's old synagogue.
